I have many dropped calls. There are certain part of my house that get better reception. Usstairs is worse.

Up here visiting family and every night around 9-9:30 VZW service (indoors) is awful. Both my iPhone and MiFi 2200 just about die. Dropped calls on the iPhone and dial-up speed (if any) on the MiFi. What the heck VZW?

Reception is horrible! Often NO reception at all. Even if I go outside and walk around the neighborhood. Calls are dropped routinely and if I have reception it is every other word.

Usually have 1-2 bars in house with rare to occasional drop calls if calling from the South side of the house... .2-3 when out and about in Auburn but many areas very poor epically for data. White Water Junction is always poor as is the area around Fred Meyers. Given we are in a valley you'd think they could set up some towers up on the ridges to give us 4+ bars everywhere, but guess it's a bit more complicated then that. Go to Kent and I always have 4+ voice / data.

Usually pretty good reception throughout this whole area. I occasionally have dropped calls but I think that is to be expected with any carrier in this type of area. Definately better reception than Cingular and Sprint. I can call someone while at my house, walk out to my car, and drive all the way to Seattle or Tacoma without dropping the call. I consider that pretty good.

I work near here and I can drive around in a 4 square mile area and hear clicks and buzzes and pops and half-words, but nothing consistent. There is a HUGE billboard that has a Verizon Worthless ad on it here and all I can do is look at the guy saying "can you hear me now?" and flip him the bird.

We have dropped call constantly. 0 - 2 bars on signal strength. Previous Motorola cell phone with Verizon gave decent reception. We have had this model E815 Motorola cell phone 1 / 2 year and reception has been bad since we have had it. I am ready to take it back to the Super Mall to Verizon and either exchange it or go to Q-West. My husband gets 5 bars with QWest Wireless using Sanyo cell phone.

I get two bars at best. Lots of static or echos. Incoming calls go straight to voicemail some of the time.

We had Qwest and had no problems with coverage. We went with Verizon for th larger coverage area. We will be going back to Qwest. Reception is terrible! 1 bar at home and constant dropped calls. We were able to get out of our Verizon contract because of this.

Poor to ZERO reception in this area, especially just around the neighborhood. The phone is pretty much no good in my house which is really where I would like to use it. Just looked at T-Mobile maps and looks like T-Mobile has towers all around here which may be why there is no Verizon reception except for once I get on 132nd or far enought on 124th, also Hwy. 18 good, but so is everyone else. How long before Verizon gets even "average" coverage in this vicinity? My family and guests who have Verizon always have dropped calls when they visit so it's not the phone. Also reception so bad the phone won't ring or messages won't come through with the beep till I finally drive out of my neighborhood. Looks like T-Mobile may be the way to go in this area of Auburn. Verizon waste of money in this part of Auburn WA

At this address I get little to no reception. Frequetnly dropped calls. No bars on the antenna indicator, sometimes 1, but rarely. Very choppy service.

Verizon is the only carrier that has 4 or 5 out of 5 reception in all Federal Way Public Schools. Other carriers usually have 0-3.

Very spotty east of downtown Auburn, Sprit is no better. My wife's Cingular GSM works quite well though.

I've been with Verizon for four years and have never had reception at my house in South Auburn. There seems to be a dead zone down on the south end with constant roaming. It's really bad by Albertsons on A Street SE (in White River).
